Man Accused Of Exposing Himself To Multiple Women In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities are seeking other possible indecent exposure victims after a man was accused of exposing himself to multiple women in the unincorporated area of Mount Helix in San Diego County.

The incidents happened around 7 p.m. between April 28 and May 21 in the areas of Mt. Helix Drive and Mt. Helix Park, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

"The women who reported the incidents told deputies they were walking on the street when a man in an SUV would suddenly pull alongside them and expose himself," Lt. Michael Gonzales said. "The victims say the man was wearing a hat, sunglasses and a hoodie to cover his face. They describe his SUV as an olive-green Subaru Outback with a covered license plate."

Shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday, deputies patrolling near Grosalia Avenue and Pandora Drive spotted the suspect's SUV, Gonzales said.

"Deputies saw the driver pull up alongside a woman who was walking in the area," he said. "The woman told deputies the driver exposed himself and drove off. Deputies followed the driver and placed him under arrest."

John Jeffrey Lynn was arrested and booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of indecent exposure, Gonzales said. He was released from jail Wednesday after posting $10,000 bail.

Anyone who has been a victim of indecent exposure in Mount Helix was asked to contact Detective Nicholas Gaspar at 619-660-7090 or nicholas.gaspar@sdsheriff.org.
